Shango Bistro and Wine Bar

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Buffalo. A friend of mine brought me here and I couldn’t stop talking about it to co-workers for a week. They serve the kind of food you’d find in New Orleans. They also boast a wine catalogue that’s 170 bottles deep. You must order a cup of their chicken and sausage gumbo for an appetizer! It’s award winning. I really like their take on “mac and cheese,” too. It’s served with smoked gouda, goat cheese, cheddar and you can add chicken to it.
